Different Degrees of Neoliberal

I rarely agree with this guy but I agree with him here:

Trump did well by kicking Elon to the curb. Elon is neoliberal, and doesn’t see anything beyond his neoliberal obsessions.

Yes, Trump is also neoliberal. Everybody is neoliberal. I’m neoliberal. But it’s a question of degree. Musk is out-there neoliberal compared to the rest of us. That’s why he can’t function without huge doses of drugs.

      1. That’s why Yarvin says democracy is bad. Politicians care about being elected, and nobody dares introduce crucial measures that will be disliked. It’s always about playing up to the lowest common denominator. And the budget is the perfect example. Everybody hates the national debt but who’s willing to give anything up to balance the budget? That would be precisely nobody.
